The essays must do the following: Discuss the role of positivism on the scientific theories of the post-WWII era. That includes the theories that were posted from Parsons through Goffman. An A paper must discuss each of the posted readings, but a paper may be limited to the assignments in boldif a B is the highest grade desired. It is not essential that each theory is completely explained, but your paper must identify statements in the assigned texts that represent ways that the theory reflects positivism as an understanding of science (particularly its search for universal truth and its assumption of objectivity). It is expected that examples will be made of quoted statements from each text, and an explanatory paragraph or so will be composed for the examples from each theory. See the syllabus for further instructions.
